US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant will visit Ukraine to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky. This was announced by US President Donald Trump, quoted by Reuters, writes BTA.
Earlier today, Reuters reported, citing sources, that Besant will visit Kiev to discuss a deal related to Ukrainian deposits of rare earth minerals.
Besant will be the first representative of the new administration of Donald Trump at the ministerial level to visit the country.
Both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Trump have expressed interest in a pact that would give the United States access to Ukraine's rare earth mineral reserves in exchange for continued American support in the war with Russia.
